Actually, I thought he wasn't quite there yesterday - just a little below his usually high and consistent standard. In the first half he was caught out quite a bit - mainly because there was no wide R's player in front of him supporting him and the defence when we did not have possession, and their left back kept carrying the ball forward 40 yards or so before being closed down. Much better in the second half when he could team up with Matty P. - and then Danny also got forward more. Think that he has been brilliant all season - and so consistent.
In games where Simpson regularly crosses the half-way line we score and win. In games when he stays in his own half (which I presume is following instructions) we don't.
I get a bit frustrated with his lack of ambition during games at times when he could push forward more or cross/pass a bit quicker , but he plays the percentages well and creates low risk situations when on the ball
I think he has played very well and I'm definitely glad he is in the team - he does the majority of the basics right and is a team player. He and Nedham could have a good few years playing in our defence together and that can only be a good thing.
